County board signs off on skating rink to self-storage proposal

A proposal to turn Showtime Skating, a 22,000-square-foot indoor skating rink in the Northland Plaza, into a business renting self-storage units was recommended as a project of local concern by the Jefferson County Planning Board.

It will now go back to the city of Watertown for final action.

A public hearing on the proposal has been scheduled for 7:30 p.m. Monday, when the Watertown City Council will be asked to grant a special use permit for the project, which is needed because the citys commercial district does not include storage-unit businesses.
